Examples; 10 of the 992 standard requirements:


1. Does your firewall solution deliver consistent network security and threat prevention aligned to applications hosted on premises and in virtualized and container environments?
   
   

2. Does the solution require significant changes to firewall rules and port configurations when deployed in environments with multiple network segments or cloud services?
   
   

3. Should the inter domain boundary be protected by a firewall and what is the mechanism for allowing transversal of the firewall if implemented?
   
   

4. Is the identity of the application the basis of the firewall security policy, or is application control treated as a secondary policy element?
   
   

5. Are you able to obtain any core switching and existing firewall configurations in order to help narrow down scope of work requirements?
   
   

6. Does your internal firewall limit the file size of the response you send via email and, if so, what is the maximum file size allowed?
   
   

7. How does the next generation firewall improve the security of cloud applications and services accessed from a branch office?
   
   

8. Is there a breakdown on the total number of assets that need to be monitored including servers, firewalls, workstations?
   
   

9. How can an enterprises files be accessed remotely without arbitrarily punching holes through the enterprises firewall?
